Although using e-cigarettes, or ‘vaping’, is claimed to be healthier than smoking tobacco, The Effect of E- cigarette on blood vessel suggests it is still bad for your body.
The flavourings used in electronic cigarettes may damage blood vessels in the same way as heart disease, according to research.
The chemicals used to give the vapour flavours, such as cinnamon, strawberry and banana, may cause inflammation in cells in the arteries, veins and heart.
They causes the body to react in a way that mimics the early signs of heart disease, heart attacks or strokes, the study found.
All nine of the chemicals tested by the scientists at Boston University killed blood vessel cells, but menthol, clove, vanilla, cinnamon and burnt flavourings produced worse reactions than others.
Menthol and clove flavours may even cause damage similar to that seen in people who smoke traditional cigarettes.
The damage is done by the flavourings reducing levels of nitric oxide in the blood vessels, which makes them more likely to swell or clot, and reduces their ability to expand when there is more blood – which could lead to higher blood pressure.
